Generation Gaps in Friends and Family

Do you have any friends or family members who are so much older or younger than you? That is called generation gap. There’s another meaning to that though.

A generation gap , or generational gap, is a difference of opinions between one generation and another regarding beliefs, politics, or values. In today’s usage, generation gap often refers to a perceived gap between younger people and their parents or grandparents.

But sometimes, you probably wonder how people still get along in different generations. Read more to find out!

How Do People Get Along in Different Generations?

Getting Along With Others | Boys Town

Getting along with other people in different generations depends on a lot of criteria. It depends on how mature you are, the upbringing, and the loyalty. Someone in Gen Z can be friends with a person from a Millennial. Why is that? It’s because no matter the age gap or generation gap, both people were probably bonded over common interests.

And keep this in mind. No matter the generation you are in, you can still be friends with them. Don’t make fun of a baby boomer just because they’re old. Praise them because they keep our old generations alive.

Sometimes things don’t always go the way you want it to be, and that’s okay. Meeting new friends can be hard because maybe you both don’t like the same things. Or perhaps you argue quite a bit. Just know that it’s not your fault, and that you’ll find other friends in the future who you’ll get along with better.
